Where to find antiques
The Cotswolds
Embraced by the gentle folds of the Cotswold hills, west of London, you’ll find a collection of delightful towns and villages all built from the local golden sandstone. Stroll along the main streets of places like Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Burford and Broadway, all a stone’s throw from one another, and you’ll find enough antiques shops to keep you happy for a very long time.
East of England
Characterised by the pretty pastel shades of their higgledy-piggledy timber-framed buildings, towns such as Lavenham, Long Melford, Saffron Walden and Coggeshall are a magnet for antiques hunters. Travel on quiet roads from town to town and shop to your heart’s content.
Kent
Dotted among the gentle hills and valleys of Kent, just south east of London, you’ll come across towns and villages that are great for antiques hunters. You’ll find antiques shops in the elegant colonnaded walkway of the Pantiles in Royal Tunbridge Wells, or in picturesque villages such as Brasted, Edenbridge, Tenterden and Westerham.
